HBase Authentication

Warning: Disabling security on a production HBase system is difficult and could cause data loss.
Contact Cloudera Support if you need to disable security in HBase.

To configure HBase security, complete the following tasks:

Configure HBase Authentication: You must establish a mechanism for HBase servers and clients to securely identify themselves with HDFS, ZooKeeper, and
each other (called authentication). This ensures that, for example, a host claiming to be an HBase RegionServer or a particular HBase client are in fact who they claim to
be.

Configure HBase Authorization: You must establish rules for the resources that clients are allowed to access (called authorization).
For more information, see Configuring HBase Authorization.
